Midnight Lullaby Review

Links provided may be from affiliate programs which help support this blog. Thanks for clicking!

Many new parents in this generation are leaning more towards playing their personal favorite music for their children rather than the traditional lullabies, I tend to be one of them. I do like the classic lullabies but when I actually sing to my child, the first ones that come out are those that are more modern, so when I heard about the Midnight Lullaby album with songs written by some of my favorite artists & performed by Jane Roman Pitt--I just had to check it out.

Here is the Track Listing--Song Title and writer(s):

Baby That's Not All (Josh Ritter)

My Darling (Wilco)

Dreaming Sweet Dreams (Hugh Prestwood)

Lullaby (Dixie Chicks)

Midnight Lullaby (Tom Waits)

Welcome Home Love (Jane Roman Pitt)

The Sweetest Gift (Sade)

La Moora (Donovan)

Whisper Warm (Jane Roman Pitt)

Forever Young (Bob Dylan)

Goodnight/Golden Slumbers (Lennon-McCartney)

You can learn more about the Midnight Lullaby album and the singer herself--Jane Roman Pitt at Ladylullaby. You can listen to clips of the songs, watch a video and discover where to purchase this album. A portion of the proceeds from the Midnight Lullaby CD will be donated to The Mary Benson House (a shelter for pregnant women & their babies in Asheville, NC).

Jane Roman Pitt explains that this album is a loving way for a parent to tell their child, "I love you very much, I'm here, and please go to sleep now because I'm really tired!" I don't know about you, but I can totally relate to that sentiment! I found this album to be very calming, comforting and enjoyable. I love that it is more modern and I am a big believer that music exposure as an infant or young child leads to a better future for them. Check Jane Roman Pitt's Midnight Lullaby album out for yourself--I think you will enjoy it!
